How to make bread? Why that $$$

Sourdough bread has appeared by chance around for thousands
of years. Some leftover porridge was left out in the sun, and as luck
would have it, a crust formed as it dried out. Then, due to the action
of fermentation, the crusted porridge rose!
I’ve accidentally done
exactly this when camping. A crust formed, it rose, and, viola!
Delicious! It’s entirely possible that this was how bread originally
came about. So bread is the result of a happy accident – and centuries
of refinement give us all manner of variation on the theme. From those
crusty Italian loaves to the dense rye breads of Europe, and all manner
of styles in between – they’re all wondrous creations, perfectly suited
to the culture which evolved them.

But when it comes to
flavour, flexibility and simplicity, nothing beats the original method –
sourdough has as many variations in itself as there are human cultures.
And that’s the point, and the pun – sourdough is all about culture,
only not the human kind, but a more fundamental one – bacterialogical.
Sourdough
bread comes from a bacterial and yeast culture; a micro environment
made up of airborne yeasts which have been transformed by the process of
controlled fermentation to become a fantastically complex living thing.
This living thing, something I often refer to as a pet you keep in your
fridge, is also more commonly known as a ‘starter’, or ‘mother’, or
‘ferment’, or any one of a number of other names. My own ‘starter’ is
getting on for about 20 years old now, though it has been refreshed with
other starters which are much older.
I’m going to show you a method
where you can easily culture your own ‘starter’. Then, I’ll show you how
to make fabulous bread using it, without using anything more complex
than a whisk – and even that’s optional. Of course, you’ll need an oven
and a fridge, and some easily obtained containers, and maybe a couple of
loaf tins. But that’s about it. My method doesn’t even require much
kneading. It couldn’t be simpler. I’ve been using variations of it
commercially and domestically for about 20 years, and I’ve made
literally millions of loaves of every shape, size, colour and flavour.
It really is an incredibly flexible method, and once you get the hang of
it, you can play till your heart’s content inventing new ways and
recipes.
I’ve decided to break this method into three further
articles, because there’s too much to digest in one hit, and because
there’s three stages to the process. They are:
1/. Starting a starter,
2/. Making some dough, and
3/. Baking the Bread.
So
stay tuned. You’ll need to print out all three future articles before
you get started, and then work your way through each one. Oh, and don’t
be too precious about them – there’s plenty of flexibility in the
method. Measurements are not that important – process and observation is
what it’s all about.

Blogging is one of the most favorite and popular pastimes over the web. It is basically putting up a page where you spew the contents of your mind for readers online to see. However, it is more than writing because blogging involves some aspects apart from simple composition. It can become an integral part of online businesses.

In fact, out of writing and posting what has been written online, people can make money. Blogging, indeed, revolutionizes the way we write and the way we use the internet-one of the strongest, most popular media as of today. If you are reading this, you are actually reading an online-generated writeup. Virtually all articles today are done over the web. This is the new scheme we’re talking about.

Going to the main issue of making money through blogging, well, the pros have a lot to say. You can make money through:

Tossing advertisements onto your page can be a way of having your blogs to earn. In fact, this is the most obvious way of making sure your pages would generate some income. Such can be in form of banner ads or even text promotions. Selling using your blog pages as pages for promotion of products is also possible. Clever bloggers do make some money by creating product or service reviews. These need not be long as you basically only need to inform the reading consumers about the basic things. A few details regarding how you are pleased or displeased about products or services would be great. There is no need for some well-crafted drama.

Turning your blog pages into something profitable is not necessarily difficult. For most bloggers, advertising seems the best option. It comes first. If you want to make money blogging, go for advertising. We are talking about stuff like Google AdSense. AdSense allows you to get paid for every click made by visitors. Look for products that have relevant connection or relation to your blogs. So if you’re blogging about digital cameras, you can make ads about DSLR cameras and photographic lenses.

Some bloggers generate income through paid memberships, in which they allow a few pages of free viewing while in-depth discussions are reserved for registered members. Hence, an interested visitor could be compelled to register. Viewing the pages may be possible through a subscription charge. What makes this scheme work is the relevance of information people can get from these exclusive pages otherwise they may cast negative feedbacks about you.

Reputable blog makers can ask for donations online to support certain groups or activities. You can raise revenues this way only if you have earned your credibility as a blogger. Before you can hope to make money blogging, make sure your blog is worth reading. Some rubbish could earn you all the wild criticisms in the world!
